The demands of today's society require professionals capable of teamwork, who know how to work collaboratively. The so-called "transactive memory system" (TMS) allows understanding the cognitive functioning of individuals when they work in a team. Through a bibliometric analysis of 322 published articles indexed in the Scopus database between 1998 and 2018, we reveal the implications of TMS for higher education institutions. Our results showed the scarce study of the subject in the area of Education despite its potential relevance for higher education. We conclude this article by arguing the implications that TMS supposes for the way in which we normally approach the teaching-learning processes in higher education environments.
